Ferritin
Hi all, my mum ferritin level is at 7755 this month and it was about the same level 6 months back, a year back the ferritin was at 3758. Seems the ferritin has double up in a year. She is consuming ferriprox now, the trainee hema was proposing to have desferral. Need some advice on this proposal, should my mom wait a little bit longer by monitoring the ferritin level or follow the proposal, starts desferral immediately. All comments are most welcome. Thanks in advance!
